Description
The Forestwest BM691 80L Pan Mortar Mixer is a compact commercial mixing solution designed for mortar, screed, cement and other construction materials. Its forced mixing action provides more consistent blending than relying on gravity alone in a conventional drum mixer.
Powered by a 1100W high-torque electric motor with a standard Australian 10A plug, the BM691 uses four mixing blades positioned at different heights to move material throughout the pan. The 80L drum provides a practical mixing capacity of approximately two-thirds of the total drum volume.
A heavy-duty 3mm steel pan, cycloidal reducer and protective hopper grate make the BM691 suitable for regular job-site use. Opening the grate activates an automatic safety cut-off, while the integrated bag splitter helps make loading bagged material easier.
